Baker Botts

Law360, New York (February 28, 2007, 12:00 AM ET) -- When private equity firms Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Texas Pacific Group finalized their acquisition of Dallas-based energy company TXU earlier this week, they immediately named Baker Botts partner and former U.S. Secretary of State James A. Baker as the advisory chairman to the investment group.

Though advising investors on a $45 billion transaction may be daunting for some, both Baker and the firm in general have plenty of experience when it comes to major energy transactions and litigation.
